A Trim to EnSemada /.

Captain Frank E. Adams, senior
member of the firm of Adams d Son,
has returned from three months
trip to Lower California. He Travelled
over 300 miles in the saddle in said
country, and he reports the country
in good prosperous condition, with
any amount of water, more than we
have in Southern California. He says
that the steamer and stage travel to
Ensenada is so large that they cannot
carry but half the passengers, but in
few days two large new steamers
will be put on, and then everybody
can be accommodated. Ensenada is
assuming the style of a city, and
growing very rapidly. There are
more Americans than any other
nationality there now, and no doubt
in short time it will be a regular
American city. The land from
Ensenada down the coast is almost
one continuous valley, fine mesas oc-
casionally breaking the valley. The
valley around San Quentin is one Of
the largest and finest to be found on
the Pacific Coast, fine sandy loam equal
to our best Los Angeles lands.
In about eleven miles on an air line
they have 1000 inches of water in one
canon, and three other streams nearly
equally as heavy can be brought on
the San Quentin valley with very
little cash, enough to irrigate the
valley of half million acres. The
town of San Quentin is situated on
San Quentin bay, which is about
eighteen miles in length and is one OF
the best harbors, admitting large
vessels at low water. This is one OF
the largest stock countries in the
world, and no doubt in short while
an immense mercantile business will
spring up between Lower California
and the United States. Mr.. Adams
will return to Ensenada and San
Quentin in about ten days in the in
terest of some Los Angeles capitalists

Accused Of Cattlc.Siealing.

putyConstable Clement arrived
in town last night with j. E. Moore,
whom he had arrested on a charge of
cattle-stealing. Moore had been in
the employ of Charley Gassen, and
while he was engaged in herding in
the San Francisco cafion he suddenly
disappeared, and ten head of cattle
were discovered to be missing at the
same time. A warrant was at once
issued for his arrest and placed in the
hands of Clement, who, after a
three-days search, found his man
on Miguel Leonis' cattle ranch in An
telope valley engaged with others in a
roundup. Clement made his busi-
ness known and without any serious
trouble brought his prisoner to town.
He was arraigned in Justice Taney's
Court at late hour last evening but
was released on bonds furnished by
Mr.. Eyraud.

At the Opera House last night Tom
Taylor's drama, The Ticket of Leave
Nan, was presented to well-filled
house. As 'Bob Briefly" Mr.. Thorne
acquitted himself very well, the Lam
cash ire dialect and character suiting
his personnel admirably. Miss Rose
Harrison was pleasing "May Ed

attire in the third act creating much
favorable comment. The other char
acters were fairly we'll sustained, and
the strong situations with which the

the audience very much, the inhab-

demonstrative in their appreciation.

DIR. BACON's PAsTORATE.
The Question of His Permanent Call
to be Settled Next Month

The Trustees and Elders of the Indepen-
dent Presbyterian church have decided that
the question, whether Dr. Bacon shall re-
ceive permanent call, should be deter
mined on the second Sunday in November.
The question will be settled by ballot. Each
member of the church and each pewholder
is entitled to vote. The ballot will be a
secret one. 1t will not, therefore, be known
who votes for and who against calling Dr.
Bacon.
1t will be remembered that DR.. Bacon
came here about year ago upon the invi-
tation of the church, he having first had
conferences with the committee of the
congregation appointed to secure a minister.
The call which he received was, at his sug-
gestion, limited to one year. The year has
very nearly expired.
Like all men of pronounced opinions, Dr.
Bacon, while making strong friends, excites
opposition. 1t is probable that it will
appear, when the question of giving him
permanent call is submitted to the congre-
CATION that there is some opposition to him.
There is an impression, based doubtless
upon his known independence of thought
and action, that he will not accept a per-
manent call, even though the majority of
the ballots in his favor is very considerable,
if the opposition is sufficiently strong to JUS
tify the belief that his ministry would inter
terfere with the harmony of the church
There is no reason to doubt that he has
the good of the church at heart, and that in
his Judgement the church's interest must
take precedence of every other. Indeed, he
has given evidence of his entire willingness
to do anything in his power to promote the
welfare of the church by offering, if he is
not called, to remain until a minister can
be secured and to assist in securing one.
1t is reported that DR.. Bacon has two calls
from churches elsewhere awaiting his de-
cision. The report is given for what it is
worth, the correctness of it not having been
inquired into. The question of salary, how
ever, not being an urgent one with him, he
fer of calls

showed that Hesser's gang had averaged
twenty eight men at work on the Harmon

alone He would make no statement when
he was taken into the barracks, and though
he was sober enough after the shooting to
talk he would say nothing.
Both men were drunk For fully half an
hour before they entered the house they
were wheeling a cart which they had
dragged from Montgomery street, up and
down the sidewalk, and twice
attempted to haul it up the
steps into the house. Finally Ellison started
off up the street, but he was called back by
Elliot, who staggered up the steps, and
seeing the door partly open, turned and
called to his companion
LET'S GO IN.
Come back. Let's go in. Its all right"
Ellison came back and the two went
into the hall together. What transpired
there has been told. When the shot was
fired Elliot ran into the street,
but came back again in a
few minutes and asked what the row was
about. He said that he didn't know Ellison
and had never seen him before, in spite
of the fact that they were together five
minutes before when the fatal shot was fired.
The only thing known about the dead man
was that he worked somewhere on the
wharf.
THE FATAL WEAPON
The weapon, 80 calibre five-shot Smith
& Wesson, was taken charge of by Officer
Maher and was turned over to Sergt. Riley
at the barracks. There were two empty
shells in the cylinder and one vacant
chamber, leaving two loaded cartridges.
Both empty shells had the appearance of
having been recently discharged, though
only one shot was fired in the house.
TAKEN TO THE MoRGUE.
Officer Collins was sent from the police
barracks to notify Coroner Dixon. He was
not found for some little time, and it was
$3.50 before the body was removed. 1t
was then taken to the morgue, and an
inquest will be held there this morning
There was nothing on the dead mans per
son by which he might be identified A fire
alarm card, a small box of medicine and
penholder and plug of tobacco were all that
his pockets contained
